Grasshopper's Romeo Confirmed AI-Free, Inspired by Hotline Miami, Eyeing Nintendo Switch 2 Release

Goichi Suda, the creator of Romeo is a Dead Man and the main creative force at Grasshopper Manufacture, responded to the game's official X account launch by assuring fans that no artificial intelligence was used to generate any of its content. This statement comes amid ongoing industry discussions about generative AI in video game development, prompted by controversies surrounding titles like Let It Die Inferno and Hotel Barcelona, and even leading to game cancellations and studio closures. Suda encouraged interested gamers to add Romeo is a Dead Man to their wishlists on Steam, sharing a link to the game's page. He also noted that his creative vision was directly inspired by Hotline Miami. An artist and deputy at Grasshopper Manufacture corroborated that the game was produced without AI. In addition, Suda told TheFormerPliskin that Grasshopper Manufacture is exploring a potential release of Romeo is a Dead Man on the Nintendo Switch 2. While Suda has expressed enthusiasm for the new console, he has not confirmed the release.
